The Tamil Wikisource was created at ta.wikisource.org this month. It was considered by the language subcommittee on April 27, approved May 07, and created the next day. The months-long delay after its proposal caused some controversy on the mailing lists, some blaming the language subcommittee for stifling progress. One Wikisource administrator retired in protest, and an earlier request to create the wiki was denied because the subcommittee had not approved it.[1][2][3][4]

Following lengthy discussion on Meta and a request filed, the Old English Wikisource was locked from editing. Since the project was opened on 02 June 2006, only fifteen pages were created (of which four works). The English Wikisource continued to accept Old English works after the Old English Wikisource was opened, and the community considered it within its scope as a subset of English.[5][6][7]

A recent study estimates that Wikisource is the 24th most viewed wiki project on the Internet, with an Alexa rank of 6783. However, Alexa rankings are not considered representative of real traffic, since they only take into account visits from users with the Alexa toolbar installed.

Arithmetic on the Frontier was featured for June 2007 with the following text:

Arithmetic on the Frontier, first published in Departmental Ditties and Other Verses in 1886, is a sardonic poem describing the Second Anglo-Afghan war between highly-educated British soldiers and poor tribesmen. This poem is still relevant to many conflicts today, and is frequently cited in news articles and blogs.

A great and glorious thing it is
To learn, for seven years or so,
The Lord knows what of that and this,
Ere reckoned fit to face the foe—
The flying bullet down the Pass,
That whistles clear: "All flesh is grass."

Three hundred pounds per annum spent
On making brain and body meeter
For all the murderous intent
Comprised in "villanous saltpetre!"
And after—ask the Yusufzaies
What comes of all our 'ologies. (Read on or see all featured texts.)

Erik Moeller (board member) unofficially suggested that every Wikimedia project be renamed to use the Wikipedia trademark, renaming Wikisource to Wikipedia Sources. However, this proposal met with strong opposition from users who offered such reasons as the dilution of the Wikipedia trademark, damage to the smaller projects' potential and individuality, and the possibility that this would make them 'subprojects' of Wikipedia.

The SyntaxHighlight GeSHi extension, which enables syntax highlighting of programming code, has been enabled on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use it by wrapping code in <source lang="php"> (changing php to the appropriate language). However, there is currently no support for wiki code highlighting. For example:

Editors can now surround images with a light gray border using the 'border' toggle parameter, used the same way as 'thumb' and 'frame'. For example: . This is intended for images which blend into the background. (bug 6072)

A new version of the search feature is being tested at http://ls2.wikimedia.org/ using outdated English Wikipedia search data; feedback is requested.

Redirects in categories can now be differentiated from non-redirects using CSS.

When viewing changes to a page, the two columns are now forced to 50% width. Previously, long lines stretched the page beyond the width of the browser window. (bug 1229)
